[00:00.00]Exercise 2.2

[00:10.82]Today, we will talk about choking.

[00:13.67]In fact, choking is quite a common problem

[00:17.08]in our daily life.

[00:19.29]What's choking?

[00:21.42]This is when someone has an object stuck in

[00:24.98]his or her throat.

[00:27.32]This happens quite often when people are eating

[00:31.48]If a piece of food gets stuck,

[00:34.22]the person can't breathe

[00:36.46]and the food doesn't go down.

[00:39.30]When this happens,

[00:40.80]we say that the person is choking.

[00:44.33]Everyone should know what to do.

[00:46.88]What should we do when this happens?

[00:49.47]Should we hit the person on the back?

[00:52.10]No, you shouldn't do that.

[00:54.12]That's not a good idea because that can make

[00:57.93]the object move down and maybe get stuck more.

[01:02.55]You should do a trick called

[01:04.28]the Heimlich Maneuver.

[01:05.94]What's that?

[01:07.37]It's a special movement to help a person

[01:10.17]who is choking.

[01:12.07]It's called the Heimlich Maneuver after Doctor

[01:15.48]Henry Heimlich,the man who invented it.
